Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets! Chapter 178 - 148. Closest, Partner2

Zhou Sinin initially felt uneasy about putting her na as the legal representative.

But she couldn’t resist Lu Jincheng’s persistent insistence and patient explanation of the pros and cons, so she had no choice but to agree, like being pushed onto a makeshift perch.

After obtaining the authorization of the legal representative, she could not only more conveniently engage in economic activities externally, but as a startup star of Finance University with millions in financing, this role suited her even better.

As for the disadvantages of being a legal representative...

Mr. Lu had skipped that point when persuading her.

If the cunning Zhou Yuanxin didn’t object, then it must not be an issue.

"Xiao Zhou, just go ahead with confidence, Lao Deng and Mr. Lu will support you!"

"I really don’t want to repeat the sa thing so many tis."

Lu Jincheng smiled and continued to walk around the company with her.

Unlike when Guo Minjie ca, this ti the two of them occasionally encountered scrutinizing gazes.

Just coming from Zone B, Zhou Sinin had just taken a brief look at Nanhu Industrial Park. The park was so vast that she broke a slight sweat while walking, her skin flushed like the color of apples, her fair, red-tinged complexion truly captivating.

The two walked side by side, turning a corner to ascend to the second floor where they encountered a tall figure, who was absorbed in fiddling with her phone.

Zhou Sinin paused, stopping in her tracks.

This older sister looked a bit familiar...

As the figure turned and glanced back, she saw Lu Jincheng and the closely following Zhou Sinin, whose proximity seed rather intimate.

She too paused, surprised. Wasn’t this the ntor teacher?

How could it be that in such a short ti, she had switched companions?

So, Mou Keyan put away her phone and walked nonchalantly towards them with a smile, teasingly remarking, "This one must be a ntor too, right? Welco!"

...

Of course, this person was not any ntor.

Mou Keyan sized up the two. It wasn’t her first encounter with Zhou Sinin.

Setting aside how many tis she had been to the coffee shop, she had subtly inquired about this person several tis while chatting with Lu Jincheng behind the scenes.

But Mr. Lu consistently responded:

Purely professional relationship.

"This is not."

Lu Jincheng, on the contrary, smiled, playing the role of the major broadcaster at that mont.

Yet, this bit of slyness was sohow endearing, not annoying at all.

He glanced again at Zhou Sinin, who was foolishly staring at the older sister, and said, "Zhou Sinin, the owner of Golden Stone Coffee, my closest business partner."

Closest business partner.

With those words, both won showed complex expressions, feeling a tumult of indescribable sensations inside.

Everyone stood on a different ground, significantly affecting what they focused on.

Zhou Sinin replayed the latter part of his statent in her head, whereas Mou Keyan seed to have only heard the first four words.

With that, the older sister refocused her gaze on Zhou Sinin’s face.

To make a professional first impression on the ntor, Mou Keyan had specifically curled her hair before coming and wore a shirt with wide-legged suit trousers. Paired with the occasional irritating autumn breeze, she looked very imposing.

This distinct difference in style made Zhou Sinin scrutinize her repeatedly, hesitant to acknowledge her as the fad host from the rumors.

But it was exactly this look that starkly set apart the distance in their deanors and ages.

Mou Keyan turned her head slightly, smiling faintly at Zhou Sinin who had been staring at her intently since they t.

"Xiao Zhou, I’d like to borrow Mr. Lu for two minutes for a work chat, then I’ll return him to you, is that alright?"

Her voice was clear and cool, filled with gentleness.

"Alright... Sure."

Zhou Sinin’s face instantly flushed, thrown into disarray by Mou Keyan’s subtly chosen words.

"Sister, he... he is not mine to lend, you talk, I’ll just wait over here."

Mou Keyan smiled even more brilliantly, lifting an eyebrow, grabbing Lu Jincheng’s sleeve, and walking to the side, not forgetting to wink at her.

Seeing this, Lu Jincheng chuckled inwardly.

At this ti, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to speak; remaining neutral was the best choice.

On one hand, his relationship with Zhou Sinin was indeed just professional, and the older sister’s words were well-rounded, polite, and faultless.

On the other hand, Mou Keyan’s actions seed sowhat haughty, but the result was quite clear.

Be it jealousy or unhappiness, ultimately, she had nudged Zhou Sinin a step forward, blatantly supporting him.

It was uncertain whether Miao Miao did this deliberately or inadvertently.

These things weren’t important; Mr. Lu was certainly happy to see this result.

Thus, he strode to the adjacent office, leaving the two girls behind.

Mou Keyan still wasn’t satisfied, so she reached out and touched Zhou Sinin’s new hairstyle—a ponytail, and softly advised,

"Xiao Zhou, don’t worry. I’m going to ask Mr. Lu sothing, you play with your phone for a bit, okay?"

After seeing Zhou Sinin nod, she felt content and followed in the direction of Lu Jincheng, disappearing into his office.

"Is this your closest little sister?"

As soon as she entered the room, Mou Keyan gently closed the door, keeping the clicking sound barely noticeable, and whispered, "So cute."

"Mischievous."

Lu Jincheng extended a finger, touching her nose tip.

"Ah, I know, just teasing her..."

Mou Keyan tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Lu Jincheng’s neck, slightly lifted her chin, her eyes filled with affection, "I wouldn’t dare ss up your things."

"Such a good girl?"

Lu Jincheng raised his eyebrows, teasingly said.

"Good kids get milk."

Mou Keyan moved closer, her cherry lips a striking rosy red, her eyes clearly conveying a ssage.

She was asking for a kiss.

"Really? I don’t believe it, unless you let have a taste."

Zhou Sinin was just outside.

Girls teasing each other was fine, but to treat soone differently just across a door...

Such an obvious act as a kiss on the lips was definitely not okay.

Mr. Lu turned his head, his fingers sliding along her jawline, capturing the intended destination.

Eating...this?

Two minutes could be both long and short.

For an office deeply charged with stolen emotions, it was clearly a ti to race against the clock.

Mou Keyan bit her lower lip, hesitated for no more than three seconds before her body was firmly against the door, unbuttoning the second and third buttons of her shirt.

Although she bluffed in front of others, she was extrely obedient to Mr. Lu.

"Is it okay?"

Her starry eyes slightly narrowed, asking in a soft voice.

"Almost."

Lu Jincheng knelt down, parting the cover, his mouth moving closer.

The autumn sunlight wasn’t harsh anymore; the sun hung slanted on the horizon, casting golden light, illuminating everything through the window.

Mou Keyan took a deep breath, felt a pinch on her left side, and instinctively closed her eyes.

Two minutes had never felt so long.

From poised and bold to cheeks flushed, Mou Keyan softened, her eyes dreamy, one hand clutching Lu Jincheng’s shirt hem, reluctantly not letting him leave.

Watching Mr. Lu pull apart a gradually widening door gap, she could only bow her head, rearrange her shirt buttons and the unclear creases, controlling her emotions.

She had told him two minutes herself, not a minute more was allowed.

"There’s sothing urgent at work."

Lu Jincheng’s expression was as usual as he walked out of the office, patted Zhou Sinin’s shoulder, and smiled pointing ahead.

"This is our live-streaming area, co, let show you around."

"Sure..."

Zhou Sinin stood by the windowsill, turned around, and followed him without a second thought.

This ti, the two of them were closer than before.

Walking along the empty corridor, their fingers brushed against each other now and then, separating just as quickly with their forward steps.

The man could feel every touch making her tense slightly, he couldn’t resist lightly grazing her fingertips as they touched, then casually moved away.

Teasing discreetly, yet his words remained serious.

"After the live-streaming area is the office area. The park’s design for workstations is actually quite similar to Golden Stone Coffee, comprising of large desks for eight people; we could set up sothing similar in area B..."

Lu Jincheng paused, then stopped walking.

The setting sun hung at the edge of the horizon, casting a final golden gleam alongside the tall buildings of Nanhu Industrial Park.

Clouds in the distance rolled into clumps, a small beam of light landed on his side-face, highlighting his sharp features.

"My office is ahead, but my ntor is still inside, do you want to say hello?"
